This is not my style. I don’t like blogging poetry, prose or anything of that nature. I blog on news and tech and humor. I like living in the real world, not an alternate world.
But today, I break my routine to blog the lyrics of a song that describes exactly the place that I am in right now emotionally and personally.
The song is “Big Eyed Fish” From Dave Matthews Band:
Look at this big eyed fish swimmin’ in the sea
Oh, how it dreams to be a bird, swoopin’,
divin’ through the breeze
So one day, caught a big old wave up onto the beach
Now he’s, dead you see
Beneath the sea is where a fish should beBut, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other sideYou see this crazy man, he decided not to breathe
He turned red, and blue, purple, so colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged and pleaded
the man would not concede
Now he’s, dead you see
Cause every man knows you got to breatheBut, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other sideSee the monkey
Sitting in his monkey tree, one day
Decided to climb down and run off to the city
But look at him now: lost and tired
Livin’ in the street
As good as dead, you see
Do what a monkey does, stay up in your fucking treeBut, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other sideOh, God
But, under the weight of life
Things seem much better on the other side

Dude I feel you. We all have that kind of moment in our lives. But for those of us that have purpose these moments can be much harder to deal with compared to the average person.
You have seen me in my moments and have always told me:
1. It’s going to be alright.
2. This too shall pass.
3. Keep my head up.
And last but not least…
If I ever need a friend to talk about it call on you. Well those rules apply to you too.
You are my brother & friend and I am here for you CUZIN.
